Exactly the goal of our open ended projects! @BrownCSDept

Seeing students enjoy it worths every effort you pour into course prep.

Here is why I love teaching CS/Optimization:

Forge: Foundational Optimization Representations from Graph Embeddings.

#Forge is a self-supervised method for embedding optimization problems, just like your favorite text embedding.

A single pre-trained model works across tasks, problems, and sizes 🤯 https://t.co/HWBoyEnnan

@lauriewired You just made me remember the summer I spent at AVM, the ActionScript Virtual Machine team at Adobe (really strong engineering team btw) where I studied the AVM specs line by line, and wrote a fuzzer based on grammar guided genetic algorithm —discovered some deep vulnerabilities

@ftm_guney Super!

[Serdar Kadioglu @serdar_kadioglu]

Driven by the complexity and the sheer scale of real-world problems in industry while seeking their abstractions & generalizations.

@jmhessel @mervenoyann Sure thing!

I wish I could just point us to a tool that already works, but we are getting there.. 🤞

[Serdar Kadioglu @serdar_kadioglu]

@mervenoyann @jmhessel Others already mentioned Optverse and Optiguide —which are very cool.

And there is an upcoming workshop at AAAI’24 exactly on this topic

[Serdar Kadioglu @serdar_kadioglu]

@mervenoyann @jmhessel Ner4Opt is avail via ‘pip install ner4opt’ but it only extracts entities without building the complete model.

The position paper on Holy Grail 2.0 (CP’23) shows a decomposition guided prompting to generate constraint models —results are very promising https://t.co/9EmIp0alRS
